Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Type 2 diabetic patients with or without clinically diagnosed DR. 2. Non-diabetic control subjects of similar age for baseline OCTA biomarker comparisons. 3. Clear ocular media allowing high-quality OCTA imaging. 4. Informed consent to participate in the study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration AMD, retinitis pigmentosa RP, retinal vein occlusion RVO, or central serous retinopathy CSR. 2. Recent intraocular surgeries less than 6 months or trauma. 3. Ocular media opacities like dense cataracts causing poor imaging quality.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Establishment of OCTA biomarker thresholds predictive of early diabetic retinopathy (DR). Measurement: Quantitative analysis of vessel density, foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, and perfusion density using OCTA. Timepoint: Single assessment at baseline.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Correlation of OCTA biomarkers with systemic and visual parameters, including HbA1c, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), Contrast, and duration of diabetes. Comparison of the diagnostic accuracy of OCTA with fundus photography and fluorescein angiography (FA). Timepoint: Single assessment at baseline.
